Forth OS discussion

So, have you seen the other Forth Operating System? http://ForthOS.org/? Is there a significant difference between ForthOS and the HerkForth OS? (Other than the fact that HerkForth has the cool Wiki thing going). Or should we try to merge the best parts of each into one unified project? -- DavidCary

David, It doesn't seem like they have much in common, asside from forth as the base language. Between having different architectures, and different source formats, I don't think we'd manage to share much code. Please delete this conversation after you read this reply. I added your link to the list of forth systems. -- Jason Woofenden

Also, it seems odd that you refer to ForthOS as _the_ other forth OS. There are plenty of other forth OSes out there. Off the top of my head there is: retroforth, colorforth, enth/flux, Open Firmware, herkforth, pygmy forth and 4IM. Perhaps you would have more in common with some of these? -- Jason Woofenden
